c12.s6.12

A few more rules of Vedic study are laid down by Āpastamba [Ib.]. Out of term the student must not study any part of the Veda which he has not learnt before. Nor shall he study during term some new part of the Veda in the *evening*. That which has been studied before must never be studied during the vacation or in the evening. According to Vishṇu [xxx, 27], a student must not lie down to sleep again when he has begun to study in the second half of the night. This is, of course, study by himself and not with his teacher.
